About This Game

Buzz

"As a peaceful walk-enjoyer in real life, it's nice to see you can do the same in FixFox. Nice strolls through meadows and mountains are encouraged, as is chilling by a campfire afterwards. It's just all-round nice. I am here for it." - Rock Paper Shotgun


About the Game



FixFox is a wholesome sci-fi adventure game. Play as Vix, an unlucky space mechanic, who crashlands on a mysterious planet where tools are forbidden. Accompanied by her trusty toolbox Tin, Vix travels across the planet Karamel discovering hidden stashes left by pirates, repairing friendly household appliances, and sampling tasty local delicacies.


Traverse the planet on a peppy scooter, clear pathways with a hefty power loader, or simply go on a peaceful journey by foot to uncover all the landmarks on Karamel. Hum along to catchy chiptunes while discovering secret locations, testing your noggin on whimsical puzzles, and finally settling down for the night next to a toasty campfire looking up at the starry sky.




Repair machines with uplifting personalities such as a passionate lawn mower using unconventional tools like coins, bandages, glowy bananas… anything really. Live out a space mechanic’s dream by constructing and operating giant mechs to help out the local robots with their peculiar problems.




Fixing things can be tough but ending the day with cozy food always makes it better. Enjoy delicious meals the planet dwellers have to offer such as homey soups, warm rice bowls, and totally-not-expired pudding. Making a friend over a meal with hospitable robots may just reveal a vital clue to solving your next quest.




Starting with an unassuming beacon repair job Vix quickly finds herself mixed up in more than her own tale. An estranged brother looking for his long lost sibling, specialized artificial intelligences working through past traumas, and an ongoing feud between two planet factions are just a few of the tangled mysteries that need to be taken apart and fixed.




In order to survive the global catastrophe of Earth’s cold atmosphere post climate change, mankind has genetically modified themselves to take on animal traits. The fur acquired from the genetic splicing helps humanity cope with the freezing weather and the ability to hibernate allows humans to sleep through long interstellar flights. This furry future is where the story of FixFox takes place.




In the early 90s, my parents brought home our very first computer - the Polish knockoff of the Atari 8-bit. Using an old handbook, I learned how to code in Basic. From that moment, I wanted to dedicate my life to making games.

Fast forward to 2012, after visiting the Peace Memorial in Hiroshima and witnessing the consequences of violence and hatred, I made a personal vow to never play or make violent games. Instead, I focus on making games that promote kindness and friendship.

With experience from game jams and heartwarming support from my friends and family, the dream of making this game has become a reality.




Fueled by my passion for wholesome stories, sci-fi, and adventure games, FixFox was designed, written, drawn, and programmed by me - Jaroslav Meloun.

The music was composed and produced by the exceptionally talented Aleix Ramon.

The key art of Vix was created by the amazingly talented Jana Kilianová.

My wish is for YOUR dream to come true, just like mine!

I'm a few hours in and I love this game. I got it on sale, but it's worth the $15. It's a cute bit of fun, runs great on my steam deck. I don't know where the story is going yet. I did get a little stuck on a quest to fix a drone. You need to explore the world more, stuff isn't just local to you so sometimes fixes involve traveling. That hadn't been immediately clear, but I got it figured out. I don't know if there's a sequel or chances of one, but I hope so. And I'm not even done yet.

All around awesome game. Cozy and fun, couldn't wait to hop back in to make more progress in the story. Packed full of unique, engaging mechanics that kept changing up and making me go 'oooo interesting!' Achievements were easy to get, even the grindy ones as they didn't even require much of a grind. Story was phenomenal, made me tear up toward the end, and I'm in love with Vix and Tin's closely-bonded friendship. I loved all of it with only one gripe, and that's that I wished the two ending options had longer, more fulfilling cutscenes; as they were, they felt abrupt and disappointing after such an epic journey. Not enough to turn me off from the game though, I still loved the experience and will cherish the memory of it in particular. Highly recommend!

As it is, FixFox is more of a highly interactive visual novel than a game. Gameplay does feel slow/boring when doing a long session, even clunky/unpolished at times. The world-building and story are great, albeit the writing sometimes does too much hand-holding. For audiovisuals: I love the aesthetic of FIxFox, it is very cozy and a lot of care clearly went into making the sprites and music. As for the puzzle aspect of the game, it's not a great puzzle-only game. As for the ending: I personally liked the premise. TL;DR: You want a puzzle game? not for you, but if you're looking for a VN with puzzle mechanics and a lot of open world to explore it might be your cup of tea.

I was incredibly surprised by this game, in a good way. I'm not sure why, but I figured it was going to be a very tiny on rails game only a couple hours long. That it would just be like, fix a thing, then another, a few more times then over. After an hour though, I realized its actually going to be a really beefy game with a lot going on. Maybe it's my fault for making a bad assumption, but perhaps the marketing materials should make it more obvious this is actually a serious game and not a small little experience.
